The Colts just went for two when down eight with 11:32 to go in the 4th quarter.

[BobPSU92]

They failed. Buffalo still leads by eight. Why go for two?

From recent discussions here, I thought Frank Reich was a genius. I wonder if the Colts have fans who look like us who will burn The Reich down to the ground.

 

[Big 0]

I thought it was a stupid decision before the ball was hiked. A FG by Buffalo and it’s now a 2 score lead.

 

[Big 0]

And there you go. Up by 2 scores.

 

[GoGoBanana]

Indy also neglected to kick a field goal to go up 13-6 near the end of the first half, and didn’t convert on 4th and goal. Buffalo subsequently went right down the field before the half and scored a TD to go up 14-10.

 

[PineIslandLion]

That’s 2 bonehead calls by Reich. Needed to kick the FG on 4th down late in 1st half & no reason to go for 2 on their last TD.

Those years with Pederson have had an effect!

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

yeah that was dumb, but it might work out

 

[PearlSUJam]

Shhhhh! You're begging for statistics guy to post a novel long response on this.

 

[interrobang]

And the Colts fumble away their comeback after a dumb mistake by the WR to try to get extra yards

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

but if Pascal got up and placed the ball on the ground it wouldn't be a fumble, which is stupid

 

[PSU Soupy]

The going for the TD on 4th and 4 I did not understand. Getting an offside so that it is moved to the 1 yard line for the two point conversion when you are down by eight makes some sense.......You have a very good OL and Taylor.....veteran QB......lots of options.

It did not work.....but I was not so against it.

 

[psu00]

That looks like a fumble but the review is taking forever.

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

no doubt in my mind its a fumble but who knows with the NFL

 

[interrobang]

Wow, they didn't overturn it.

 

[SheldonJoe2215]

Rivers must have pics of the commish.

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

lol my stream is behind

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

so why the hell doesn't Buffalo get charged a TO?

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

What on earth did the replay official see that we could not see? I'm for the Colts, but that knee was up before contact. There is a frame that clearly shows it.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Replay Officials just blew call in this game. The view from the upfield camera clearly shows Indy receiver's knee off the ground before he's touched. Complete bs call - game should be over.

 

[GoGoBanana]

Wow, why even have replay? It was pretty clear from every angle that he fumbled...

 

[psu00]

They originally said Buffalo called the time out. After the review the ref said the replay official stopped the game. If it’s the replay official then Buffalo keeps the time out.

No genius coaches, fans only.

No doubt, I have no rooting interest for either team, but the Officials made Buffalo win twice which is utter bullshit given the clear camera shot with Indy receiver's knee off field surface before he is touched on back.

 

[RGWhirly]

Colts left way too many points off the board, self induced in some cases. 🤦‍♂️

 

[Tom McAndrew]

I was on Zoom, and had muted the game, but was watching. What was the ref's explanation on the play near the end not being a fumble?

play stands, that's pretty much it

 

[Tom McAndrew]

thanks.

I'm wondering what video they may have seen that lead them to make that decision. Everything I saw on TV replay seemed to confirm that it was a fumble. oh well.

congrats Buffalo.

yeah I don't know, nothing I saw led me to have any doubt whatsoever that it was a fumble and the announcers didn't make any kind of case for it standing that I could tell

Essentially the Repay Call suggested there was no clear evidence that his knee was off field before he was touched on back, which is utter nonsense. Completely inexplicable call that essentially forced Buffalo to win twice.

You miscalculated.

Buffalo got at least one favorable call on one of those sideline “catches” on the TD drive before the half. They won. Congrats to them.

 

[PineIslandLion]

Didn’t realize John O’Neill was a part time replay official for the NFL.

I’m a Bills fan. Those calls on the sideline could have gone either way and would not have been overturned on replay.
The fumbled fumble call was absolutely egregious. Even Colts fans were texting me on that one.

 

[81b&w]

Good for Buffalo!

 

[rudedude]

 

[Erial_Lion]

Math says to go for 2 in that situation even without the penalty. With the penalty, it would have been a no-brainer for me.

Good move that didn't work out.

 

[sluggo72]

No GD!! It’s know math!!!

 

[psuno1]

That’s 2 bonehead calls by Reich. Needed to kick the FG on 4th down late in 1st half & no reason to go for 2 on their last TD.

That four points what did they lose bye? take the points.

 

[CDLionFL]

At some point, these coaches and managers will realize that computers don't win games. Reich cost his team 3 points and #57 cost them 4 by jumping offsides on an obvious hard count situation. Colts had their chances and blew it.
